[NL2-NL10] NL2: KK bet sizing on flop

Hi,
i am not sure about my bet sizing on the flop. After the hand was over it thought 2/3 pot would have been enough with the additional draw to the 2nd nuts. How much would you bet in this situation depending on whether you have the FD or you don't have it?

Generally on monotone boards players play very straight-forwardly. They also under-rep their top pairs so you have a bunch of FE when showing strength. On this board particularly there's high-end straight draws, flush draws, possible sets, etc. So you're going to get called a lot regardless of 3/4 or pot bets (when betting for value). At 2NL I wouldn't worry about bet sizing so much, just because no one really takes pot odds seriously.

If you didn't have the second nut flushdraw, I would advise betting less (3/4 or 1/2) so that the bet only has to work a lesser % of the time. It depends if your betting for value or betting as a semi-bluff.

Off topic; I'd be interested to know how you've been playing for 5 years and still are at 2NL. No disrespect, I just don't see that very often.
